does anyone know if the Beta release will include the complete roman roster?, in other words Camillan, Polybian, Marian and Imperial units. Thanks.

Only Camilian and Polyibian, some of the polybian units may use as placeholders the camilian versions.

Finally! Waited years for this.

I want to make this clear: Are camillian Hastati spearmen? Hastatas was a type of spear?

[Samariten]

I only have one thing to say, and that is sometime in august i am going to call in sick. Probably for a whole week.

[gaunty14]

This news is most enjoyable to my ears.

[ThracianWarlord]

The name of the weapon is 'Hasta,-ae', feminine, belonging to the First Declension, it's the Latin for 'spear' in the more wide meaning, the plural is 'Hastae'.

From the noun 'Hasta' it comes the adjective 'Hastatus,-a,-um', it can be translated as 'armed with a spear', in this case the plural is 'Hastati'.

Only Camilian and Polyibian, some of the polybian units may use as placeholders the camilian versions.

This sounds pretty sad, so ... we won't see the Marian and post-Marian Legions in the next Beta.

Anyway, even without a complete Roman roster, the Mod looks awesome! Compliments and good work.

All these years have passed and I've grown quite a few grey hairs (more than a few actually). But I'm more than ready for it! Come to me EB, come to me!

Remember folks, this is a video game release date. Even worse, a mod release date, expect release sometime in October or November if at all this year. Oh how I look forward to EB2 though.

[Pistola Pablo]

is it true that Creative Assembly paid you guys to hold of release of EB2 so that Total War Rome 2 sales would not take a hit..... just saying

That is the stupidest question i ever read, so stupid that i had to use my defunct TWC account to just say its stupid......

I prefer to ask sth like how does the building tree / culture works in EB2.....

No. Barring some natural catastrophe, it will release in August. Book it.
